Movies: reviews, reflections, and things of that nature

Inglourious Basterds (Poster)

An unsatisfying poster for a movie I eagerly await. I’ll admit, I’m still a bit uneasy with Pitt at the helm of the cast; the footage revealed, while appealing in many many ways, hasn’t had me jumping all over Pitt’s bones with excitement. A few of my friends aren’t too excited for this movie, and I can understand why. Yet, if we went back in time to when Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs were released, I’m sure not a lot of people were looking forward to them. And look at how they turned out-classics. I say we should trust Quentin Tarantino, even with his most recent release, Death Proof, which was negatively received.

Well, Inglourious Basterds is set to premiere at Cannes Festival later this month, so the early buzz will indicate if this will be another one of Tarantino’s hits.
